Elizabeth Taylor Book order (chronological)

A convergence of factors led me to a professional opportunity in Saudi Arabia, driven by wanderlust and race fatigue. I sought adventure, a change of scenery, and meaningful work during a time when the U.S. economy was still recovering from a financial crisis, and full-time academic positions were scarce. Feeling ennui and hesitant to return to a full-time professor role, I surprised myself by accepting a contract in Saudi Arabia, despite hearing negative things about the country. The decision was daunting, yet it aligned with my desires and goals. I found myself in the Middle East, taking on the role of Professor and Chair of the College of Business Administration (Female Campus) at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University, a young institution established in 2006 in Khobar. My work expanded into the business community, focusing on advancing Saudi women into the workplace as leaders and entrepreneurs. With no direct experience in Saudi Arabia, I trusted my decision and refused to let others' fears interfere with my plans. Throughout the five-year journey, it became evident that I was 'called' to the Kingdom by a higher purpose.

The book delves into the history of Camp Forrest, a significant military facility in Tennessee during World War II. Initially a training site for over 70,000 soldiers, it evolved into one of the first civilian internment camps for enemy aliens in the U.S. and later became a POW camp for German and Italian soldiers. Following the war, the camp was decommissioned in 1946 and transformed into the Arnold Engineering Development Complex in 1951. The narrative captures the impact of global conflict on American society, illustrated through historical images of the site.

Mrs Lippincote's house, with its mahogany furniture and yellowing photographs, stands as a reminder of all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. Temporarily, this is home for Julia, who has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF. Although she can accept the pomposities of service life, Julia's honesty and sense of humor prevent her from taking her role as seriously as her husband, that leader of men, might wish; for Roddy, merely love cannot suffice - he needs homage as well as admiration. And Julia, while she may be a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, is certainly no hypocrite.An Alternate Cover for this edition can be found here.
